Germ Reduction
GERM REDUCTION PROGRAM / GERMSCAN TECHNOLOGIESGerm reduction starts with the places we touch. Discover a program that brings practical education and GermScan technology into everyday life.
The Germ Reduction Program brings together products, education and behavior change around one purpose: a more thoughtful approach to reducing the spread of germs.
GermScan develops device concepts for the surfaces and spaces people share. GRP connects that technology to awareness, routines and collaboration, with businesses and communities at the center.

The GermScan interface examples show a vision for organizing devices by location, viewing device status and selecting operating options.
From a front desk to a floor of shared facilities, the idea is to make device organization part of the wider program.

GRP is an initiative built around education, behavior change, products and collaboration. Its mission is to enhance germ reduction through innovative products, services and programs.
GRP is the wider program. GermScan is the technology and device brand associated with it, developing designs for shared touchpoints and other specific applications.
No. Cleaning physically removes dirt and germs. Any additional treatment belongs within an appropriate cleaning and hygiene routine and must follow the device’s instructions.
The choice depends on the surface, installation, intended use and operating conditions. Confirm model-specific specifications, test data, safety documentation and availability before selecting a device.
